Overview of and topical guide to Quebec
Location of Quebec
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Quebec:
Quebec , a province in the eastern part of Canada , lies between Hudson Bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence . It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level. Sovereignty plays a large role in the politics of Quebec , and the official opposition social-democratic Parti Québécois advocates national sovereignty for the province and secession from Canada . Sovereigntist governments held referendums on independence in 1980 and in 1995 ; voters rejected both proposals - the latter by a very narrow margin. In 2006 the House of Commons of Canada passed a symbolic motion recognizing the "Québécois as a nation within a united Canada."[ 1] [ 2]

^ According to the Canadian government , Québec (with the acute accent ) is the official name in French and Quebec (without the accent) is the province's official name in English ; the name is one of 81 locales of pan-Canadian significance with official forms in both languages Archived 2009-12-10 at the Wayback Machine . In this system, the official name of the capital is Québec in both official languages. The Quebec government renders both names as Québec in both languages.

^ This is the preferred spelling according to Hansard, the official record of debates in the House of Commons (e.g., 39th Parliament, 1st Session - Edited Hansard - Number 085 - November 23, 2006 ). Also, technically speaking, the commonly accepted English spelling is "Quebecker". The rules of English pronunciation require a "k" after the "c" for a hard sound. In the Oxford Dictionary, "Quebecker" is the only spelling offered (see Oxford Dictionary Online ). The Globe & Mail uses "Quebecker" (see: Quebeckers' mental Bloc - article by Jeffrey Simpson after the 2008 election; Oct. 18, 2008). It is sometimes spelled "Quebecer" in other newspapers and magazines, such as the Montreal Gazette and Macleans magazine.
